You are absolutely right! Maybe I can email the concert organiser and ask if there is a possibility to make a picture with Steven (or meet him) after the show. I can tell that I am one of the staff members of this website and one of his biggest fans. Maybe it works....

Tonight's the kickoff of Seagal's tour. I just checked the website for the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida and there are no tickets available. Good for him! I wonder if we have any members from here who might be attending.

Oddly enough, this is his only U.S. scheduled date. In five days he will be performing in Slovakia.
Buckle up, Steven, and let the whirlwind begin!

Steven Seagal is ill and is unable to fly to Europe! It seems he is in a hospital near Florida. It's something with his stomach! The concert in Duisburg, Germany will now be July 11. I hope that doesn't mean that he is not coming to Holland. I already have my tickets!!!

Sarah and Maria Fitzmaurice of Bowie never expected to tour Europe with Steven Seagal. But Fitzmaurice, the sisters’ alternative and bluegrass duo, will be in the lineup Saturday when the actor kicks off his European Blues Tour at the Dobry Festival in Stvrtok, Serbia.

Over the following month, the sisters will perform in Hungary, Germany, France, the Czech Republica, Lithiuana, Spain, Luxembourg, Scotland and England, ending with a July 25 concert in London. “I’m looking forward to the whole experience.” Maria said.

The sisters left June 5 for Scottsdale, Ariz., to practice the show for two weeks before heading overseas. Being asked by Seagal to join his tour came as a shock, but Sarah said meeting the ‘80s and ‘90s action star proved he is “very passionate about music.”

Identical twins, Sarah plays the upright bass and Maria plays the acoustic guitar. They began singing and playing in bars, coffeehouses and festivals in Virginia, West Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee when they were 15 years old under the watchful eye of their parents. “We have a very, very great support system,” Sarah said. Their parents exposed them to a variety of musical genres growing up. Their favorites include the Allman Brothers Band, Emmylou Harris, the Eagles, and Fleetwood Mac. “We’re kind of influenced by everything,” said Sarah.

Fitzmaurice has developed an alternative country sound. In 2011, they shared a stage with musical giants Dierks Bentley, Brantley Gilbert, Darius Rucker, Trace Adkins, and even The Band Perry. Fitzmaurice plays cover songs and originals written by Maria. Although she has not had much time to devote to songwriting recently, Maria writes about life from heartbreak to happiness. She typically hears the music of her song before she finds the words to go with it. “It’s basically me sitting in my living room, on the couch, at home, with no real distractions,” she said.

Their supportive family is stepping in to help Sarah’s husband care for their 1-year-old son. The couple plans to keep in touch through Skype and FaceTime. Sarah plans to write about the tour, and has already begun posting updates on their Facebook page. “We made it to Arizona yesterday to gear up for the European tour with Steven Seagal,” she wrote on June 6. “We jumped right into practicing with some of the most talented musicians in the world.”

Spain is a highlight Sarah is looking forward to, as is the possibility that Alison Krauss and her band Union Station might join them on stage during the tour. Both sisters are huge fans of Krauss and her music. “I’m being positive and optimistic about it,” Sarah said. “If I tell myself she will be there, I’m hoping it actually happens.”

Upon Fitzmaurice’s return to Bowie, the sisters are planning to continue working at their regular day jobs. Sarah works for the federal government, while Maria does estimates for a cleaning company and is taking courses to learn massage therapy. “My focus is on multiple things, but music has always been a constant in my life,” Maria said.

The next performance in Bowie will be at Allen Pond Park at 7 p.m. Aug. 31, as part of Bowie’s Sunday Sunset Concert series.

Both sisters hope to become full-time musicians one day and want this tour to lead to other musical opportunities. “We couldn’t pass this opportunity up,” Sarah said.
